What Think You Would BLODGETT RESCUES ROORKEUT START Sent Into Game in Sixth, with Three On, and Saves Day with Lucky Whiff. ATHLETES SPLASH ROUND IN MUD By F. niWTRR. fT. JOSEPH. Mo., April 94. fPpectal Tylegram.) Although Jackie Holland rang soma fourteen alleged athletes Into the postponed opener here todav, Marty Km g's hopefuls were not to be denied nd they very properly subdued the Josles, 4 to 3, after a strenuous two hours and ten minutes of paatlmlna. The. victory wu a very clammy affair. The diamond ooied mud all over the bright new uniforms of tha athletes and canned considerable slipping and sliding. Franklin Johnson and his speed ball started the battle for the Rourkes. but Franklin Rot a little wild In the sixth frame, and. with three on the paths and n run over, Krug hustled Tom Blodgett out of the trenches to reinforce the tot tering Rourkes. It was a ticklish situa tion for a green pitcher, but the Kansas farmer was all to the mustard and he Promptly whiffed Mr. Williams and saved the day. Jokiunn alow Martins;. The Josles started on Johnson In the opening chapter and successive hits by Fox. Br U ton and Watson netted the hos tile a count. Johnson then settled down and heaved masterful ball for the fol lowing; four rounds, only to dip In the sixth, when Blodgett came to the rescue In the nick of time. With Breen down, Krug; nicked a slat for a single to center in the third and wiped second. It was a delayed steal and ha caught Olson flat-footed oft the bag. H went to third on Thomason's out and Krueger'a single, following a walk to Huelaman, counted him. Hollanders Rattled. ' A very weird inning In which the Rourkes made nary a hit netted two counts for our side. Thomason was safe on Olson's punk heave- Huelsnun laid down a sacrifice and Britton made a three-baye chuck Into rlgnt field, which allowed Thomuson to romp clear home and Frank to trip lightly to third. Krueger coaxed a walk and Bchllebner rolled one to Baker. Bilker mussed up the ball, pl.'kcd it up and held it while everybody ran. Huelaman In the free-for-alt sprinting ran for home and landed safely, while Baker still held the pill firmly grasped In his noble mitt. Walks to Fox and Britton, followed by Watson's single, gave the Josles one in tho seventh and a walk to Fox (one the umpire missed), an infield hit by Britton and Patterson's blow to right counted another In the eighth.

But Stecher was a student In the normal, and. aa Is the custom of Mr. Clemmons, he has watched his progress slm-e. "Ho got that muscle wrestling with a Ford up and down the hills of Dodgo county." said President Clemmons. "That Is a fact. He and his brother Anton bought a Ford, so he could practice and train with It. Anton would drive In and drive up and down the hills. Joe would take hold of a big rope tied to the rear of the car and try to hold It. Ha got so ha could stop It going up the hills.

This Is a radical de parture from the decrees laid down by custom. That a minor league magnate should be so brave and bold to eliminate a parade before the game has been heretofore unheard of, but Pa Rourke has decided that parades are for circuses and minstrel shows and that ball games at his psrk are not such activities even though there are those who make such assertions. In other words Pa Is leading sn uplift movement which will tend to keep our nstlnnal pastime from entering ths same class as weddings and funerals. Mayor in Heave. Of course, there will be a few doings t the park so that the fans may dis tinguish this game from all others. Pome thing must be done to make an opening game different from others. So Al.
